I don't want to seem like I am beating up on Senator Obama, but I had to mention this.
The left seems to be obsessed with Obama's claim to be different, not like "other politicians".
So, why did an
Obama staffer tell the Candanian ambassador that if Obama beats up on NAFTA it is just "campaign rhetoric"? Does that sound like a new kind of honest politician?
Or is it just another Democrat hack saying whatever it takes to get elected?
I know no one believes me, but this guy will not see the inside of the White House unless he takes a tour.

I am sure someone will reply with something along the lines of "but so is McCain", so let me explain.
Yes, McCain is just another politician, saying what he needs to to get elected, but we know that. Republicans voting for McCain are either doing so because they consider him electable, or because they hope to move him to the right, or, in a few cases, because they actually agree with him.
Obama's supporters are different. They are true believers. As soon as they find out their untainted hero is just as dirty and imperfect as the rest they will be crushed. It will be the end of their Obama dream and they will not recover.
That is why I never worried about the Obamania. It takes very little to turn such enthusiasm to disappointment.
